Garwula District ,Grand Cape Mount , in north-westLiberia As of January, 2006, the population was approximately 1,165. The area was settled by the Bande clan of the
Mende people . Residents speak a dialect of theMende language (Mєnde yia) called Bandi. However, the language of school instruction and local administration isLiberian English . The area contains several abandoned small scale mines. Bandelє sometimes serves as an informal trading post due to its proximity to theSierra Leone border and the major road to Sierra Leone'sdiamond mining region. The area suffered during both theLiberian Civil War and theSierra Leone Civil War . Currently, the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL ) provides most security and other basic services.
